Previously, he served as Chief Medical Officer at Casma Therapeutics, leading clinical development programs focused on rare genetic and neurodegenerative diseases. Before joining industry, Dr. Ory spent more than two decades at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, where he served as the Alan A. and Edith L. Wolff Professor of Cardiology and conducted research in cholesterol metabolism and Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC), helping advance the understanding of cholesterol homeostasis and its role in cardiovascular disease.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDan joins Editas at an exciting time as EDIT-401 nears clinical development for the potential treatment of hyperlipidemia, and as we continue advancing our leadership in\u00a0<em>in vivo<\/em> gene editing,\u201d said Gilmore O&#8217;Neill, M.B., M.M.Sc., President and Chief Executive Officer of Editas Medicine. \u201cHe brings deep expertise in cardiovascular medicine and the development of genetic medicines, together with a proven track record of advancing innovative therapies from scientific discovery through clinical development. His expertise in cardiovascular disease and cholesterol metabolism, combined with his experience leading clinical development for innovative genetic medicine programs, including <em>in vivo<\/em>\u00a0gene editing, will strengthen our ability to execute our clinical strategy and advance our mission of developing transformative <em>in vivo<\/em> gene editing medicines for patients.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am excited to join Editas as the company advances EDIT-401 toward the clinic,\u201d said Dr. Ory. \u201cThe opportunity to apply <em>in vivo<\/em> gene editing to cardiovascular disease, an area where significant unmet need remains, represents an exciting new frontier in medicine. EDIT-401 has the potential to redefine the treatment paradigm as a best-in-class therapeutic for hyperlipidemia through a one-time gene editing approach, and I have been impressed by the strength of the science and the talented team behind it. I look forward to working alongside my colleagues to advance EDIT-401 into the clinic, progress the broader pipeline, and work to ultimately deliver transformative medicines for patients living with serious diseases.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>About\u00a0Dan Ory, M.D.<\/strong><br \/>Dr. Ory, M.D., is an accomplished biotechnology executive with more than 25 years of leadership in cardiovascular and genetic medicine.<\/p>\n<p>Most recently, Dr. Ory\u00a0served as Chief Medical Officer at Arbor Biotechnologies, where he led the company&#8217;s clinical development strategy and advancement of its next-generation gene editing pipeline.
